"TSMC chose to work with Arteris on the interposer based test chip program because its interconnect technology is ideally suited to addressing the SoC wire routing congestion and timing closure challenges," said Suk Lee, Director of Design Infrastructure Marketing at TSMC. "TSMC and Arteris are working together to make it easier for our joint customers to adopt these technologies."
In addition to working together on the interposer based test chip program, Arteris is a TSMC Open Innovation Platform Partner and a participant in TSMC's Reference Flows 11.0 and 12.0.
Unlike other interconnect solutions, Arteris's FlexNoC network on chip interconnect IP is physically implemented as a distributed network of small design elements within a SoC floorplan. Furthermore, FlexNoC's flexibility simultaneously addresses bandwidth, latency and quality of service (QoS) requirements introduced with wide data paths.
"TSMC and Arteris are working together to accelerate adoption of interconnect fabric technology by increasing design efficiency and proactively addressing the routing congestion and timing closure issues," said Charlie Janac, Arteris President and CEO.
